Partner in hospital while being induced

I am booked in to be induced on Saturday at 9:30 pm. Can my partner stay with me overnight or will the hospital send him home until active labour starts?

I was induced and my partner got to stay through everything.

Same as Rachel said! My partner stayed with me day and night until we left the hospital with our newborn. He was also the one speaking for me with doctors and nurses, when I was going through the contractions while induced. I couldn’t have had the clarity of my mind to speak to anyone, if he wasn’t there to support me.

My partner had to leave 8pm-7am unless I was moved to labour ward so it’ll depend on the hospital x

My partner was able to stay the entire time with me.

My partner was able to stay with me while induced and up until giving birth. After baby I had to stay a few days and he wasn't allowed to stay the first 2 nights but when moved to another ward he was able to stay again x

it depends on your hospital i think because at mine when i got induced my partner could stay on the ward with me from 10am-8pm and then had to go and once my waters went my partner could come back up and then stay with me then until i got back to the ward after having baby and then he could only stay til 8 again so i’d ask your hospital on their rules with it

I wasn't induced, was meant to be but they were too busy so I was left too long and went naturally, but my partner had to leave every night and come back in the morning until active labour started and I was moved to the birthing suite.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
